One has a most excellent opportunity TO
study "mann as represented by the average
New Workers. Among the wealthy classes,
very many Of them have the waNy skin
dropsical flesh, and 'puffed eyes, that are
indicative of serious kidney affection.
"Bright's disease is plainly written on their
faces. Since General Logan's death the sub
ject of rheumatism is being discussed by the
medical profession.
Every Intelligent person, with any kuowl-
edge Of the human system, is well aware that
IL the kidneys are in good condition all un-
necessary material is regularly carried of
by them. IL not, various acids, such as uric
acid, one of the chief causes of rheumatism,
are left in excess, creating deposits that cause
all sorts of chronic organic diseases lt
would seem, therefore, that rheumatism, like
dropsy, is not a disease, but the result of a
disease, and it is safe to say that il the
stomach and kidneys are kept in hcalthful
condition, there will be no deaths from rheu-
matism
General Logan was well aware that his
disease was of the kidneys, and once ex-
pressed himself in indignant terms at the
folly Of doctors treating him for orrheumatism,
when il was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living and the exceSses in
all things prevalent among wealthy men in
large cities especially in New York, is the
chief cause for Brght's disease, and the aris-
tocratic trouble known as rheumatism, even
as insufficient and improper food bring about
the same results among the very poor.
The above article, which we reproduce be-
cause of its general interest is very signih-
can't The public believes that rheumatism
is an effect Of diseased blood, this disease be-
ing caused by uric acid or kidney poison.
Enough Of this is developed daily to Kill sew

health.
This fact is a scientific demonstration.
If doctors do not admit it, il is probably
because they do not wish to attract atten-
tion to the menace deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have no
authorized specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense of treat
ing the effects-the real seat of the disease
was the kidneys. Senator Sittig, of Illinois.
whose vote elected Logan Senator after four
months of balloting, tells us that Logan often
complained to him of great distress in his
kidneys. Disease Of the kidneys always
produces rheumatism, and besides that, il
causes paralysis, apoplexy, impotency,
stomach and blood disorders, brain troubles
female complaints and countless other dis
eases which would almost never develop il
the blood was kept free of uric acid or kidney
poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen, for very evident
reasons, will not publicly acknowledge them
lest, perchance, some proprietary medicine like
Warmers safe cure, now admitted to be the
only scientific specific, will get the benefit
tie on such bigotry. 1t has been authori-
tatively stated time and again that there can
be no real sound health if there is any false
action of the kidneys. Insurance companies
refuse millions of risks on this ground alone,
hence it is that there is such universal popu-
larity given to the great preparation named
"a popularity that is based upon intrinsic
merit
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power, too
often results very disastrously, but of what
use to the victim is experience gained by fa-
tai disaster.
How much better it is to be guided by an
unprejudiced public opinionin such matters.
Had Logan been so guided, he might have
been spared many years.
